Railways in Dublin South Docks?

    Playing with Google Maps I came across what looks like an old rail line near the Pidgeon House running along the side of a dock and then curving into some wasteland - with what looks like old wagons dumped there? I had no idea railways served that area ever. Any one have more info? Thanks.

    Hey, not sure if it is an old railway, looks like a lane way track to an old yard. Looks like old skips layed up.

    This is a great map for finding old lines, but it doesn't look like there was ever anything there.

    There were no actual railways in the south docks. That looks like a vehicle path only.

    There were industrial trackways of various kinds in lots of docks, like this boat moving system in Howth so there could be some random bits in the general area, but nothing ever connected to the national network.

    If there was the gang in here will look for it to be re-opened:D
